Jake and Darra have separated due to an argument over their future plans. Both quit the Jedi Order and went their separate ways. Darra joined the security force of an out of the way colony planet to get away from anyone's pity and attempt to deal with her pain as Jake joined a smuggling company. A year later Darra gets a call from her old friend Jacen Solo asking for help with a Zurgan with severe amnesia, the man doesn't even remember his own name. But when she gets there she receives an unpleasant surprise and all the bad memories of the argument and separation come roaring back to her.
